Tires Falken or Maxxis
Now I also got some UHP tires (Falken Azenis FK510) in 235/45/17 and am really pleased with them, they got a lot of grip!
I’m rocking the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W really nice tire and winter rated as well, not much road noise, awesome in the snow, do a lot of gravel road driving as well and they hold up real nice.
Got a set last summer on my Scion im 17 inch rims. When they are new they do have some noise but after 100 miles or so they quiet down. They have really good traction but they aren't performance tires. They will grip the road nicely but if pushed to far they will squeal. I will say they have a great wet road performance and actually feel like they are connected to the road. Not A/T tires but they break really well in the rain and even did really well on a loose gravel road.
My bike came with 27.5 **Ardent Race** tires and they are super fast and plenty grippy for most days. The side lugs grab corners really nicely. I have some 60tpi Ardents around and they are heavier and slower feeling.
ive been running the MT-772's for about 5k miles now and they are quite impressive. I have had BFG's and Nitto Grapplers in the past and these are just as good, possibly better (and cheaper). Quite impressive on the rocks and in the mountains as they air down quite nicely and super grippy. Throw in the fact that they're not really loud on the freeway and you pretty much have all you can ask for in a mud-terrain.
I rock the maxis ardent race on my rear wheel of my 29er. Great combo but Ive been ripping the hardtail on techical single track so maybe not the best for your application.
I'm running them too (for about 2k miles so far) in a 255/50R20 and I like them. They feel very surefooted in the big rainstorms we get down here in Florida.
the falken Wildpeak AT3W’s added that extra touch. They’re quiet and have great traction.
But now running 912's littel better in snow, and wet. Haven't really pushed them on dry roads.
Had the Falkens on my 2017 GSWAT and at 22000 miles they are toast.
